    If you've used After Effects (this feature's probably in other editing programs, but I haven't used them so I'm not entirely sure), you're given the ability to smooth keyframes so movement seems a little more fluid and a little less linear.

    This is already achievable in the Replay Mod manually, but being able to automate it would be really awesome. Perhaps being able to select multiple keyframes and pressing a hotkey to ease the movement would work. I suspect this would require not only a lot of code, but a lot of confusing math... a reason why it may not be achievable.

    Here's a demonstration of what Easy Ease would look like vs. what it is now (this took a bit of time, haha):
    Here's a path w/o Easy Ease.
    Here's a rendition of what a path might look like w/ Easy Ease.
    *It might not actually be that extreme of easing, I went a bit overboard with smoothing in the above gif.

    Hopefully the above gfycats explain what I'm getting at, but if I failed to explain this feature, feel free to ask questions. I understand that this is a very unnecessary feature, just thought it would be yet another aspect that would help improve the Replay Mod, and the quality it produces!

    Did I do a bad job at explaining this? The lack of any sort of response suggests that that might be the case, ahah. Feel free to ask questions!

    No, you did fine. It's just that we can't add all path suggestions to the current system as it'll eventually be too messy to maintain. I do have some ideas for an advanced keyframe mode which will solve many of those problems, that's why I haven't responded to most suggestions regarding paths. Only downside is that I haven't gotten to implementing my idea as there are still too many bugs which need to be fixed.

    Ah, completely understood! Wasn't sure how complex paths were to handle, especially when dealing with more advanced ways of using them. Good luck with those bugs.
